Michael Dunn

I am a management scholar with a sociologist's training and a product manager's past. My research sits at the intersection of technology, organizations, and work: a seven-year longitudinal study of careers built inside algorithmically managed labor markets, an NSF-funded project designing AI tools with and for the workers those markets tend to overlook, and new work on how algorithmic systems reshape the meaning of a job. Before academia I spent a decade in technology product management and workforce training, and the questions that drove that work still drive this one: who benefits when technology changes how work gets done, and who bears the cost?
